Classy Country

Ranch Description

From the time you roll down the drive into this 40.4+/- acre property just north of Highland, you'll feel like you're in a special place. With 23+/- acres of woods, 5.25+/- acres of pasture and about 5 acres of tillable ground, it is a great mix for multiple uses. Whether hunting, hobby farm or just a getaway spot, there is so much to love.

It's not often that you find a classic farmhouse with this much class. Stamped textured concrete provides a maintenance free floor to the wrap around porch with plenty of room to sit with a friend or host a party. Inside, the large entryway draws the eye into a beautiful kitchen with a bar and heated floor. A generous dining room is nearby, as is a comfortable living room. Tucked away on the main floor, is a family room with a barnboard wall and a vibe that draws you in to sit a while. Down a hallway, the main floor bath is clustered near a spacious laundry room with a second entry leading to a patio. Completing the main floor is a delightful owners suite including a full bath and walk in closet.

Up a lovely hardwood stairway from the dining room, you'll arrive at the upper level. The broad upper hall leads to 4 more substantial bedrooms and another full bath. Ceramic tile and antique wood flooring are extensively used throughout this level as well as the first floor. Up one more level is a walk-up attic which provides plenty of dry storage.

The walkout basement also has great storage and even has a humidity controlled lockable gun/ sporting equipment room. On the practical end, you'll appreciate the generator that will kick in if the power goes down and solar panels that help cut energy bills substantially. There have been many recent improvements, with the owners stating that updates were completed as follows:

Furnace in 2021

Well pump and tank in 2014

Septic in 2011

Water softener in 2021

Water heater in 2024

8 kw Generator in 2019

Metal roof in 2011

Solar in 2019

Newer vinyl windows.

Updated electrical (breakers).

A 36' x 64' insulated and heated metal garage is nearby. With an overhead door on each end and water, this is an ideal building for vehicle storage or equipment maintenance.

Other outbuildings include a greenhouse style building and an 85' x 100' shed which is configured for housing livestock as well as equipment storage. Lastly, the classic dairy barn has been thoughtfully repurposed into multiple storage areas, a large, heated woodworking shop, and a game processing area with a walk-in cooler. Outdoor hydrants or cattle waterers are available by a garden area with raised beds, and each of the outbuildings.

The current owners have enjoyed bountiful hunting and recreational opportunities on the property, and a recent selective timber harvest will only improve the wildlife cover as well as providing the property with an extensive trail system.
